Gentle Giant Rowing is a 501(c)3 that brings the sport of rowing to the under served communities of Somerville, Everett, Malden, and other cities in the Mystic River Valley area.

Through your generous donations we are able to:

Work with these cities to help guide them to start rowing programs for their High School Athletes.

Bring High School athletes to the Mystic River for rowing during the seasons that their cities and towns do not provide a program.

Provide rowing to teen mothers through a program called "Rowing Strong, Rowing Together".

Partner with Children's Hospital to bring a pilot program called OWL down to the Mystic. (Optimal Weight for Life) Kids in this program range in age from 14 - 18 and learn about the importance of exercise and nutrition.
